Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Scared Away

The Chaos Stele.

Long Ao wasn’t the least bit surprised.

’The Divine Calculator is said to be able to calculate all things under heaven, so it’s no wonder he knows that I obtained the Chaos Stele.’

"Elder Divine Calculator, I’ve been wanting to ask, what exactly do the twelve Chaos Steles of Heaven and Earth represent?"

Long Ao had always been curious about the Chaos Stele, wondering what kind of existence it truly was.

"Long Ao, legend has it that there are twelve Chaos Steles in all of Heaven and Earth. Anyone who obtains one can become the most powerful existence between Heaven and Earth. Even the Celestial Dao has never obtained a single Chaos Stele."

"According to my speculation, the twelve Chaos Steles do not belong to the Celestial Martial Continent at all. They come from the Chaos Space, the place of the Power of Origin."

’So that’s how it is.’

"Within each of the twelve Chaos Steles, there is a supreme Cultivation Technique and a Martial Art. Long Ao, I still don’t know which Cultivation Technique and Martial Art are inside the Chaos Stele you possess."

Long Ao was also greatly looking forward to the Martial Arts and Cultivation Technique contained within the Chaos Stele.

Since Long Ao already possessed the Ninth Transformation Reincarnation Technique, he wasn’t desperate for another Cultivation Technique. The only thing he wanted was the Martial Art. For even the Divine Calculator to speak of it this way, the Martial Art within the Chaos Stele must be incredibly powerful.

But the one thing that was a real pain for Long Ao was that no matter what he tried, he couldn’t comprehend the Martial Art inside the Chaos Stele.

"Elder Divine Calculator, how can I comprehend the Chaos Stele?"

"I have just sensed it. Since the Chaos Stele has already acknowledged you as its master, comprehending the Martial Art within it is only a matter of time."

’When did the Chaos Stele acknowledge me as its master?’

"Long Ao, I cannot help you comprehend the Chaos Stele, but I can give you a hint. If you want to comprehend the Martial Art as soon as possible, you should try to perceive nature more. This will be of great help to you in comprehending the Chaos Stele."

Nodding, Long Ao committed this to memory.

Before Long Ao could ask any more questions—after all, his mind was filled with doubts—the Divine Calculator waved his hand and said weakly, "I must enter seclusion to recuperate. I will not come out for some time. I hope you will study the Divine Calculation Dao diligently. Go now."

Seeing that the Divine Calculator was unwilling to say more, Long Ao didn’t press the issue and turned to leave.

The empty Crystal Palace.

The Divine Calculator let out a deep sigh, lamenting helplessly, "Back then, I should not have brought about the Celestial Dao. Now, I should not be setting Long Ao on his path. Was I right or wrong? *Sigh*!"

’I really can’t figure this Divine Calculator out. I don’t know why he didn’t choose someone else, why he had to choose me.’

Leaving the Crystal Palace, Long Ao glanced left and right. The Divine Beast Water Dragon had long since vanished, and there was no sign of the Five-headed Golden Tiger Shark either. Even so, Long Ao didn’t dare let his guard down in the slightest, cautiously jetting off in another direction.

Long Ao knew he had gained a great deal from this trip to the bottom of the sea.

First, he finally learned that in this world, besides the Celestial Dao, there was another person who stood at the Martial Arts Peak: the Divine Calculator, an existence who surpassed the Celestial Dao, for the Celestial Dao itself was brought into being by his hand.

Furthermore, he had obtained the Divine Calculation Dao. Although Long Ao didn’t understand much about the Divine Calculation Dao at this moment, he knew it was absolutely heaven-defying. Otherwise, the Divine Calculator could never have become a Martial Arts Peak Powerhouse.

"Brat, hand over your life!"

Hearing the furious roar, Long Ao jumped in fright. Speak of the devil. However, Long Ao was already prepared. He immediately used Spatial Teleportation ten times in a row, then broke into a frantic sprint.

Long Ao had the Water-Repelling Pearl, so moving in the sea was almost the same as on land. Combined with Spatial Teleportation, his speed was incredibly fast.

After about an hour, Long Ao successfully made it back. Not out of the Da Hai, but back to the territory of the Divine Beast Water Dragon.

Long Ao knew very well that no matter how powerful the Five-headed Golden Tiger Shark was, it wouldn’t dare trespass on the Divine Beast Water Dragon’s territory. After all, the power gap between Divine Beasts could be immense. The Divine Beast Water Dragon could take on all five of them and would almost certainly achieve a complete victory.

Watching the human enter the Divine Beast Water Dragon’s territory, how could the Golden Tiger Shark not understand his intention? Its expression turned grim to the extreme. ’Are we supposed to completely break ties with the Divine Beast Water Dragon over this?’

"Get out of my Forbidden Land, or you will be killed without question."

The terrifying Divine Beast aura of the Divine Beast Water Dragon instantly pressed down on them. Even the Divine Beast Golden Tiger Shark found it somewhat difficult to resist. It didn’t dare say another word, because it knew very well that if the Divine Beast Water Dragon decided to slay the five of them right now, it would be useless even if their own ancestor came in person.

They had no choice. The Five-headed Golden Tiger Shark turned and left, because the Divine Beast Water Dragon’s strength was simply too overwhelming. Even if all five of them joined forces, they would be no match for the Divine Beast Water Dragon.

Seeing the Five-headed Golden Tiger Shark depart, Long Ao finally let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at the Divine Beast Water Dragon before him and said, "Thank you for saving me, Elder Shui Long."

"Brat, have you seen Lord Divine Calculator?"

’Lord?’

Long Ao sighed internally. ’Even a being like the Divine Beast Water Dragon has to address the Divine Calculator as ’Lord’. One could only imagine how terrifying the Divine Calculator’s power truly was.’

"I have."

The Divine Beast Water Dragon didn’t ask anything further. It just gave a faint nod and said, "Lord Divine Calculator said you come from Kyushu and asked me to send you back later. Do you want to set off now? Or leave a bit later?"

Joy blossomed in his heart. Of course, Long Ao couldn’t wait to leave and return to Kyushu.

Because of this, Long Ao immediately said, "Elder Shui Long, I hope you can send me back now."

"Alright."

Clean and efficient, never one for dawdling. In that instant, Long Ao was enveloped by a terrifying aura. Before he could even react, his entire body vanished from the spot.

A teleportation channel.

Long Ao never would have imagined that there was a teleportation channel within the Da Hai. He had assumed the Divine Beast Water Dragon would personally escort him back to Kyushu, but this was even better. At least this way, he could return in the shortest possible time.

Long Ao was deeply worried about the safety of Kyushu, especially his family and Sect, so he was anxious to return. The next second, Long Ao appeared in the Celestial State.

He wasn’t surprised in the least. Since the Divine Calculator could calculate all things under heaven, Long Ao believed he would have certainly calculated that he was from the Celestial State. That was why the Divine Beast Water Dragon sent him directly back to the Celestial State.

It wasn’t until the moment his feet touched solid ground that Long Ao truly breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he was attacked by the Beast Tide and inexplicably ended up in the Outer Sea, a full three months had passed. Long Ao knew very well that a lot can happen in three months. What’s more, the Beast Tide had invaded Kyushu back then, and he had no idea what had become of Kyushu now.

(PS: I’ve had too much going on today. I’ll update with two more Chapters later. With the six Chapters I owe and the five I’ll get back to tomorrow, that’s a total of eleven Chapters tomorrow. Please don’t flame me, everyone gets busy, and besides, Xiaojiu has a family now.)
